Don't ask why I'm up so late but I just found this piece from a Belgian Sports website written around 13 hours ago quoting the Genk manager who's team returned to training yesterday.
''I Am Not Paid By Chelsea!''
There isn't really a timescale like there is on Lukaku because if Chelsea did secure them this summer they would be out on loan at Genk all next season and Genk have a Champions League qualifier coming up at the end of the month so I would imagine it will be sorted by then (Even if it surpasses that Chelsea wouldn't have brought Courtois/De Bruyne in next season anyway so them being cup tied in Europe isn't really an issue).
Also English press reported this quote from our old friend Zamparini claiming Malaga, Madrid and Chelsea were left in the race whereas foreign press reported the quote as a now 2 horse race between Malaga and Madrid but frankly he's now saying Barcelona are excluded despite him claiming they bid 35+ a week or so ago...
Malaga and Madrid head the queue for Pastore
Coentrao looks like he's been lured to Madrid through Jorge and his super-agent powers of completely legal, legitimate means.
And as I said a few days ago Turin's main man is flying out to Atletico to meet with their ENTIRE board to 'smooth' over the deal so I would presume he has gone as well. Juve are a great club but they aren't in Europe and have no Champions League football next season so how is Aguero supposed to become a player of the year when he hasn't shown it on the Champions League stage?
Anyway no surprises who told him to talk to Juventus?...You guessed it, his father in law Diego Maradona.
Update on Lavezzi as well who I believe might have an outside chance of arriving after the Copa America (If he is going anywhere it will be England),
Lavezzi to consider Napoli future after Copa America
Only 1 day to go now until AVB can have a look at the squad and the intense transfer rumours begin when he starts looking around for players. I don't think Modric is a realistic coup, Levy wont sell for anything less than ridiculous and no bid has been placed since AVB took charge so interest appears to have cooled...
Anyway there's the roundup so I'm not behind on everything when I'm back in 20 hours time.
